That's right Ian. We ran from Dec 2001 - Mar 2007. Martin joined us shortly after we started up replacing Rob Chadwick who decided he didn't want to DJ any more. We had 5 venues altogether. Starting at McNab's near Cannon St then the Old Blue Last, where the crowd dropped off from 50 to about 15 - 20 regulars. Then the KFC ads started and we were asked to run a weekly night at Nylon the City night club and star of the Bar Wars TV programme. We managed to persuade the owners to make it monthly though and had really good numbers in until it closed in Dec 2005. Then we were off to Vivos just across Cheapside. where after a good start numbers began to dwindle once more. When Vivo's closed for refurbishment we moved, albiet briefly, to the Ditch bar in Shoreditch, a step too far away from the City it seemed as numbers fell once more the venue pulled the night not long after whilst one of their other nights decided to use the SITC name before we'd even packed up. Good times and great friends!

And me!

I'm not sure Geoff. I'll check tonight.

I've got one of those with the pic sleeve. There's a scan of it on Soul Talk. I'll try to post it here later.

I've got this Joe but not sure whether it's red/yellow or not. I'll check.

I can send you Change my life tonight - PM me your email address.

I've got most of the later Action 45s but have never found a copy of this one.

Yes pretty much Span. Import Duty, VAT and a charge from the PO for the pleasure of charging you!

Hi Simon Do you play "Don't run away" by Sandie Shaw as well?

Gets a great reaction whereever I play it, lots of people don't know it still. Not easy to find in good condition as said earlier.

Spinetingling stuff - Thanks Pete!

Could be wrong but I don't think the Chilites were on this bill. Might have a programme somewhere. I'll let you know if I find it.

Last one I saw listed was £40 M-

That's really wierd Tony, because I remember that concert as one of the best I've ever seen! I guess I went along expecting to see Curtis Mayfield do CM rather tha the Impression stuff. I saw the Imps at a night club in Margaret Street W1 around this time too and they concentrated on the post ABC stuff if I remember rightly. They were still great though.

Mine too Di. USed to get plays down in London in the early 70s along with Little Queenie, and then of course Cigarette ashes. Always like "Image" as an ender too.

That's great! Come and say hello.

Tell us more Geoff!

Hi Martin Any of you guys gonna be at the Wimans do in Stockholm this weekend? Paul

Sorry Geoff, didn't mean to embarass you any more than already were, if you see what I mean. Speak later!

Geoff played an Invitations track at the last Blue Skies amd I thought to myself this is going on a bit with no vocal. Went and got a beer and still no vocal, he'd put on the instrumental side - DOH! His set was definitely uphill from then though

I'll check it out later.

Isn't the "Girl across the street" on the flip a different take or mix?

By the way Pete you might want to play another clip on SS to stop yourself advertising the ZZ & Co.

I agree - Keep at it Pete!
